. >> jon: the scene in benghazi, september 11th as what was believed to be, what we're were to believe reuters, protesting an anti-muslim film supposedly produced in this country. that film blames the cause for islamic protestors attacking embassy in cairo egypt. someone in that embassy tweeted this message in response to the riot. we firmly reject the actions by those that abuse the universal right of freedom of speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others. politico said they decided to distance themselves. the statement by the embassy in cairo was not cleared by washington and does not reflect the views of the united states government. mitt romney also reacted to the attack west side this statement. i am outraged by the attacks on american diplomatic missions in libya and egypt and by the death of an american consulate worker in benghazi. romney held a press conference the next day. >> possibly the administration was wrong sympathizing of those instead of condemning their actions. it's never too early for the united states government to condemn attacks on americans and to defend ou

our assessment at the present is in fact it began spontaneously in benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired hours earlier in cairo where, of course, as you know, there was a violent protest outside of our embassy sparked by this hateful video. but soon after that spontaneous protest began outside of our consulate in benghazi, we believe that it looks like extremist elements, individuals, joined in that effort with heavy weapons of the sort that are, unfortunately, readily now available in libya post-revolution. and that it spun from there into something much, much more violent. >> schieffer: but you do not agree with him that this was something that had been plotted out several months ago? >> we do not-- we do not have information at present that leads us to conclude this was premeditated or preplanned. >> schieffer: do you agree or disagree with him that al qaeda had some part in this? >> well, we'll have to find out that out. i think it's clear there were extremist elements that joined in and escalated the violence. whether they were al qaeda affiliatees, whether they were liby

consulate in benghazi was just the beginning of a terrifying night for the americans inside. libyan officials told us their forces helped evacuate 32 americans out of the consulate as attacks are torched and stormed the compound. i libyan commander told us a convoy of 22 vehicles, two of them armored, raced from the u.s. consulate down this road to a safe house a mile and a half away. but the safe house they fled to, which was supposed to be in a secret location, had become a target. so this is where they were attacking from. just as the u.s. extraction team of commandos arrived to take the americans to the airport, the house came under heavy fire. it was intense, deadly, and accurate. everywhere you look on this rooftop there's evidence of what must have been a ferocious fight. there's damage from automatic weapons, rocket-propelled grenades and even mortars. the precise mortar strikes on the house suggest those who launched them knew exactly where to aim. clearly, americans fighting back from this rooftop were hit. our escort, lib and commander abdu salam, gathered two bloo
